Instra Corporation, Asia Pacific’s leading Domain Name and ENUM Registrar, is proud to announce its expansion into Singapore, with the successful launch of its Singapore operations, along with its recent registrar accreditation with SGNIC (Singapore Network Information Centre Pte Ltd), the Domain Name Registry in Singapore.

Phillip Parker, Instra’s Business Development Manager said, “Singapore is a natural market for us, neighboring our headquarters in Melbourne Australia. Singapore is a hub for E-Commerce within the Asia Pacific region. We are proud to establish our Singaporean identity and be one of the few foreign registrars to receive this accreditation from SGNIC”.

Lim Choon Sai, General Manager of SGNIC commented, “We are pleased to welcome Instra Corporation as our newest registrar. SGNIC is committed to providing excellence in its Registry services, and we expect Instra Corporation to provide a high quality Singapore Domain Experience as well.” With the launch of .ASIA, and the recent boom of Asian Domain Names, Singapore is a central part of Asia, and Instra Corporation is well positioned to protect domain name holders with registrations of this key country code.

Tony Lentino, Instra’s CEO views Singapore as a strategic move for operations. Tony said, “With the focus on ASIAN domain markets, Singapore is another leg into the Asian business sector for us.

Melbourne, 19 February 2008

Instra Corporation, a world wide leading Domain Name registrar, is ready for the launch of the .ASIA Landrush scheduled on 20th February 2008, the world’s first domain name extension for the Asia Pacific Region.

Leona Chen, spokesperson for the DotASIA Organization anticipates a Huge Landrush. Leona comments, “We are ready for something big. All of our people and systems are in place, and we look forward to the commencement of the .ASIA Landrush.”

With already 30,780 .ASIA domains submitted during the Sunrise Period, the Landrush is anticipated to be massive, with domain registrars globally submitting hundreds of thousands of .ASIA domain names. Duplicate Domain names submitted during the Landrush stage will go into a live domain name auction.

Chloe Li, Director of Operations for Instra Corporation, commented, “Today is a special day for us. We have worked hard for this moment, and we believe .ASIA will become a world leading domain name. We are pleased to see that the Asia Pacific region finally gets its own unique online identity.”

The scope of .ASIA TLD has been defined by ICANN, and includes over 70 countries, with coverage from the Middle East, to the Far East and Oceania regions. Applications will only be considered from organizations officially registered in one or more of these countries. Instra Corporation will provide a Local Address for clients outside of the Asia region, such as for applicants that are located in America, Europe, or Africa.

Phillip Parker from Instra Corporation said, “It’s an important time for corporations around the world, especially with trademark and brand infringement occurring on mammoth proportions. It is imperative that these corporate brands protect their name in the .ASIA name space.”

Following the successful European .EU domain launch in 2006, .ASIA is the next geographic region Top Level Domain to be introduced.

.ASIA domain names can be registered online at: Instra.com
